Pick
an Opportunity
We need a few good writers for our award-winning Signature newsletter.
Volunteering could be a great opportunity for you. Here’s why.
- You get to demonstrate
your skills as a professional writer.
- You get to be published
on the Web. Because Signature is now a Web newsletter, your article
can be read by almost anyone with Internet access.
- You can give family,
friends, colleagues, or potential employers easy access to your work.
- You get to do something
fun to help the San Diego Chapter.
- You get to feel the glow of accomplishment.
So, are you ready to start? Pick one of the following opportunities.
"Kudos Corner"
This is a new monthly column created to acknowledge member achievements. We’re looking for a volunteer to seek, gather, and write member news such as awards, certifications, and advancements.
"Treasure Chest"
We need someone who would enjoy mining for golden nuggets of advice or wisdom from experienced members.
We also need someone
who knows or would like to learn Flash to create simple animations. Here’s
the concept: a treasure chest holds nuggets of wisdom. The user clicks
to open the lid, which causes the nuggets to fly out and display the advice.
The treasure chest idea needs to be more fully developed. Your ideas are welcome.
Feature Article
We have six writers scheduled. We need four more for this top opportunity.
Book or Software Review
We’re looking for several volunteers to write book and software reviews. You can review a book you already have, review a book in the chapter library, or ask the chapter to buy the book you want to review (which will be placed in the chapter library).
For an example, see Erica Ueland’s review of The Writer’s FAQs: The Ultimate Quick Reference Guide for Writers.
"Advice"
Here’s a great chance to share your tips, knowledge, or expertise. We need several writers for this monthly column.
For an article example, see Finding a Printer by Suzanne Hardy.
Classifieds
If there’s enough interest, we’ll publish classified ads. We need someone to coordinate and compile this section.
